    I know that a lot of members come from Queensland, Australia. For those of you who are unaware, Queensland is being ravaged by floods at the moment. About 80% of the State has been declared a disaster area. I just wanted those of you in Queensland who still have access to power and a computer, that our thoughts are with you in your time of hardship. You are not alone. The entire country is with you as I am sure your friends on the board will be.

    I have been glued to the TV all day- there are some amazing (and not in any good way) images coming out of there- very scary, and very sad.

    Many prayers going up from me on your behalf, Austrailian friends. Remember who is in control and don't lose hope!
